“Why are Americans celebrating the assassination of Healthcare CEOs!?”

Book launch! Co-editors @glexareen and @DrMitchTravis introduce their two Law & Sci-Fi edited volumes (with Kieran Tranter @qutlaw).

Last month Team Australia, which comprised of eight ANU law students, swept the board at the 2024 Intercollegiate Negotiation & Arbitration Comp in Tokyo. James Fisher, who coached the team, said that this was the best result ANU has ever had at this competition.

Refusing to delete a crap paragraph because it took so long to research

“These disgraceful comments blaming staff when it’s clear there’s been managerial incompetence are simply staggering. This is emblematic of a broken governance system that needs an urgent federal parliamentary inquiry.” @AlisonBarnes25 Read more: nteu.info/sackbishop

Lectures train one to listen. Abolishing lectures is therefore an excellent university preparation for professional life in the managerial class.

I urge ANU senior management to ensure these outstanding not-for-profit child education centres, some of which have operated for decades, remain the exclusive providers of childcare on campus. They are the 💛 of @ourANU community & produce remarkable value. My wee fella agrees 🕺

I have been at @ourANU for more than 3 hours so far. ANU sending huge numbers of security and police to vacate ANU Gaza Solidarity Encampment. Shameful to send police onto a uni campus to break up a peaceful protest. Rumours more police on the way.

Great to see folks rally to support the ANU encampment from @ourANU’s shameful attempts to silence them

The students are always on our side sending a clear message to the uni. In 20 years the uni will tokenize this movement as ‘proud history of student activism’ and not mention that they are going to send police in to brutalize students. @UniMelb we will never forget.

full support to students showing infinitely more moral integrity than their institutions’ leadership

Squatting is good and people should do more of it.

@annajsaunders Congratulations and welcome 🤗

pinkwashing of colonial genocide by gutless sycophants @Tokyo_R_Pride who confirm no exclusion of orgs complicit in israel’s atrocities, to ensure ‘tolerance’ (read: corporate goodwill). the ‘rainbow family’ in 🇵🇸 would prefer not being slaughtered but fuck them eh 🤷‍♀️ 💴🏳️‍🌈
